The Ice Storm

Overview

Suburban Connecticut, 1973. While Richard Nixon's 'I am not a crook' speech plays on TV, the Hood and Carver families move through a Thanksgiving break marked by resentment, desire, and cultural confusion. Ang Lee adapts Rick Moody's novel into a tragicomic portrait of upper-middle-class malaise, with a cast including Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Elijah Wood, and Katie Holmes.
